Earlier (PNL 10:25-26, 1978) we reported measurements of height and of

several yield components in 25 varieties of peas grown at Kashmir (N.W. Himalaya

region of India). Table 1 includes some additional data obtained from the same

study. Among the tall types, T56 had the highest shelling percentage, number

of seeds per plant, grain yield, and seed protein yield but it had the lowest

seed protein content. 'Lincoln' performed second best, combining high grain

yield with better seed protein content. In the dwarf group, 'Early Badger'

and GC 468 were among the best in the test.
